It’s too early to tell the full affect that Wells Fargo’s scandal will have on the country’s 2nd largest bank. Universal Funding Corporation is encouraging businesses to become less dependent on big banks for business financing and here’s why.

In light of the past month’s unsavory news highlighting Wells Fargo’s unscrupulous business practices, many consumers are closing their accounts. But what about businesses that bank with, have revolving lines of credit, or use invoice factoring services with Wells Fargo? It’s too early to tell the full affect this scandal will have on the country’s 2nd largest bank. Universal Funding Corporation is encouraging businesses to become less dependent on big banks for business financing and here’s why:

We all witnessed Senator Elizabeth Warren lambast Wells Fargo (now former) CEO John Stumpf and demand his resignation. The bank was fined $185 million and may be in violation of federal racketeering laws; the issue has been referred to the Department of Justice for further investigation. While Stumpf forfeits a $41 Million dollar clawback, he still walks away with a $400M bonus. The Wells Fargo customers were refunded $2.6 million in fees. All the while, Wells Fargo has been acquiring GE Capital’s domestic and international assets.

How exactly does any of this money shuffling help businesses and the American economy? It doesn’t.

Universal Funding Corporation has spent the past 20 years providing business financing that has fewer limitations on how you spend your money, faster approval and funding times, and they don’t have the overhead of a large bureaucratic bank that is set-up to line the pockets of their CEOS. Their goal is to line your pockets so that your business can continue to flourish and grow.

While most realize that businesses will never be completely dependent of bank financing, invoice factoring services allow businesses to be less reliant on a bank line. If your business is entertaining the idea of shifting where the bulk of their financial services sit, give us a call to see if Universal Funding can help you diversify your business financing.
